The consensus among certain political circles that the Trump assassination attempt was a "Deep State" operation is explored.

A caller analyzes the body cam footage released by Senator Grassley, noting the apparent absence of shell casings on the roof shortly after the shooting.

Jones agrees that the quick removal of evidence suggests a cover-up.

Senator Ted Cruz argues that Democrats use mass shootings to pursue political objectives rather than stopping violent criminals.
